The One Ring™ Strider™ Mode

Strider Mode presents additional and modified rules to facilitate solo play in The One Ring, as well as guidelines and tips for solo players and a selection of random tables to help incite and inspire your lone wanderings across Middle-earth. As with standard play in The One Ring, you play the game and interact with the world from the perspective of your character. You don’t need to talk out loud (though you can!), nor are you writing the equivalent of a novel (though the occasional written note can help keep you on track) Instead, you envision the world, the figures and foes you encounter, and your character’s actions. The rules of The One Ring help resolve those actions. When you need additional guidance or inspiration for how the world responds to you, or what you encounter in your journeys across Middle-earth, Strider Mode steps in to lend a hand.
